Insect & Pest Management

Scale Management

The Symptoms

What to look for:

White, felt-like scales on trunks and branches. Heavy infestations produce sticky honeydew that coats the tree and ground, leading to black sooty mold and a significant reduction in seasonal blooms.

Management Protocol

1. Diagnosis & Assessment

Our certified arborists inspect the tree to confirm the presence of the pathogen or pest, evaluate the overall vigor of the tree, and determine the safest path forward based on your landscape's unique needs.

2. Monitoring

Because every property is different, we develop a flexible monitoring schedule. We consistently evaluate the tree's health over time to ensure any underlying issues are managed effectively before they become critical hazards.
